Guest Lecture location:ESRC Seminar at the University of Warwick (UK) date:28th February 1999

Abstract:

Based on three cases three problems will be discussed: 1) the preparation of the interview; 2) the interviewing process: mainly problems of creating good rapport, and problems of understanding during the interview; and 3) problems of interpretation.
Moreover, I will discuss how these problems may be interpreted by taking into account the analysis of the understanding of everyday life as conceived by Schutz and Luckmann (1974) and by Thomas (1995).
